The working environment of valve castings for petrochemical industry has the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure and hydrogen (including hydrogen sulfide). Its pressure is generally 14 ~ 25 MPa, and the temperature of reaction system is up to about 400 ℃. These characteristics require that valve castings must be made of high-strength, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, and the castings must not have casting defects such as inclusions, slag inclusions, pores, shrinkage porosity and cracks.
ZHY casting has organized technological breakthrough and adopted advanced casting and smelting technology. The valve castings manufactured by ZHY casting fully meet the requirements of customers.
